You get fat enough eating cheese and you won't feel the cold.

Joe, can we come work for you?

Can people please get over what to call stuff and not get so overly sensitive about each little word? I can't believe the things that ruffle feathers these days. I still can't get over losing the Frito Bandido for that reason.

If hearing the term "master bedroom" is the worst thing that happens to you today, you're damned lucky.

In that case, I'd contact the FBI. They handle a lot of child porn crap so that's an in, especially with the China connection. He'll probably get a lot more of the same because the crooks will sell his info to others.

I got three scam e-mails today, each telling me I won something from somebody. The only interesting one would have been a wet/dry vac from Home Depot.

Around Christmas I got a lot of those telling me my account with somebody would be cut off. I didn't have an account with any of them. Then there are the ones telling me about my order for a $7,000 watch from Amazon and stuff. I got one of those last week with a change. They usually have a button to click to cancel the order or something. This one said it wasn't cancellable. Had to call some phone number. Yeah, right.

People ought to spend less time on Facebork and more time reading a few articles to educate themselves on what not to fall for on the internet.

Usually if you stick to well-known vendors, they don't play dirty with their customers' info, including e-mail, although customer lists are a legit way for them to make more moolah. I very rarely deal with a new company I've never heard of for that reason. Sometimes, though, you just can't stop the crap. Spam is the least of the damage they can do, so it's just having common-sense vigilance.

I once had some company charging me around $7 a month for some subscription to some diet program of theirs I never heard of. It was obviously crooked, as each month the charge was listed under a different category, such as florist, books, etc. I guess they depended on getting a lot of card numbers and charging a small amount they hoped nobody would notice. I got the charge removed each month until they gave up.

It's a plot!

Definitely. You have to stick it under their noses.

That was bubblegum.

I've always said, I can fit anything you want into any space you want, but I can't guarantee you'll be able to read it when I do. I once did a newspaper ad in 4 pt. condensed type because the customer wouldn't pay for anything larger than a 1 column by 1 inch.

Sounds like one of those companies that give employees fancy titles rather than raises.

And you don't mess around with Jim.

Also, unless you're trying to sell your house, take house pix on an angle or don't include the whole house if you're going to post them. Makes your house less identifiable. I've seen real estate listings that don't even have a full-on front view. Can't be too careful these days.

Try E-Bay? I know people used to sell toner there. It's at least one of the reasons that Xerox started limiting the number of toners a customer could get at one time.

Doomed.

Now nobody from his old workplace can bother him. During the Covid unemployment bonanza, I switched from a Mac Mini running 10.6 to a brand new Dell. A couple years later it was nice to be able to tell my old boss that no, I wasn't interested in doing work for him from home for his new business and I didn't have the software anymore anyway.

Xitron seems to be helpful, at least they were several years ago when we had a Harlequin RIP so old it was running on a Mac G3. We wanted to update the software and the owner wouldn't spring for a whole new version but we needed the password from the old version. Xitron finally went to the engineering department to dig out something. At any rate, they got us updated.
